ความเปลี่ยนแปรของสำนึกทางประวัติศาสตร์ และการเปลี่ยนแปลงทางสังคมไทย ตั้งแต่รัชกาลที่ 4 ถึง พ.ศ. 2475 / อรรถจักร์ สัตยานุรักษ์ = The transformation of historical consciousness and the changes in Thai society from the reign of King Mongkut to 1932 A.D. / Attachak Sattayanurak
The thesis, based on the recognition of dynamism in Thai Society, shows how the transformation of historical consciousness driving man to change his own history. The establishment of the absolute-monarchy in Thai history and the political change of 1932 are two historical phenomena studied. Since the time of Mongkut, economic and political changes caused the elite to revise their conceptions of Time, state and Kingship. These new conceptions formed the basis of a new historical consciousness emphasising the King's role as the prime mover of history, ensuring continuity and progress. The King of the Chakri dynasty had a royal obligation to accelerate historical progress. This historical consciousness was the intellectual force driving Mongkut and Chulalongkorn to centralize power, so that they could become the prime mover of historical development. Under such conditions, an absolutist state was established. Dynamism within this absolutist state, especially the politics of the Chakri dynasty, with its internal contradictions, and the expansion of the money economy, caused some officials and commoners to realize their own potential and individual consciousness. They renounced the principle of birthright, and instead believed that commoners also had important roles in historical development. However; the limitation of economic and social' changes was also responsible for the rather limited individual consciousness; inclining towards the "Great Man" theory in history. The historical consciousness of the commoners as the prime mover of history, under the leadership of a "Great Man," drove a group of officials to involve themselves in the Revolution of 1932.
